a few bov related questions
I was looking on trifectas website and found this page
Why does Vince get so grumpy about blow off valves (BOVs)? - WOT-Tuning.com
What problems can be caused by a maf relocate? I got a charge pipe with an hks flange and maf relocate on it...sooo what problems is he talking about? Ive heard a bunch of people say there maf relocate works great. I got the maf relocate on the upper pipe(thats where dejon likes to put it). I thought it would be worth it to get rid of the bov problems but I dont want it to cause other issues.
Also a tuning question. If someone has just the bov you can tune for the bov by like eliminating the p0101 code and some other stuff. but since I have the maf relocate he shouldn't mess with that stuff. right? If he tunes for the maf relocate then that should pretty much bypass having to mess with the bov and eliminating p0101. Right?
Thanks guys.
oh and how long does it take him to make up a tune and send it to me with the cable? If I get a trifecta tune ill definatly be buying the dealer kit so I dont know if that would add any time getting it to me. I would really need it by june 8th because im leaving for Ocean city the 9th and my car keeps setting engine codes from the turboxs bov I have on it now and I want it running good for being down oc for the week. And does anyone know the tune prices with having the dealer kit and how much is the dealer kit??

I haven't found any, some turbulence might be one if the maf is right after a bend but a honeycomb straightener will fix that. He never really mentions what problems arise from a maf relocation, i've done this for years and haven't ran into any issues.
HoneyComb MAF Mass Air Meter Airflow Straightener- TREADSTONE PERFORMANCE
I run a maf relocate and a synapse synchronic dv set to Vta. Maf is dialed in perfectly, with 0 issues. I had more problems than a pregnant cat trying to tune the bov with the maf in the stock location. Definitely run a relocate.
